Room saving subs?

I have a 1985 Camaro and I am looking to install subs into the car that sound decent without taking up all of the trunk space. I was looking at an 8'' tube, but I have no real idea where I'd put it. If anyone has any ideas or suggestions of any kind, I'm trying to find a room-conserving sub set up.

Look up things like "spare tire sub". I've seen lots of people put subs in there, but there goes the spare tire if you still carry one.

Re: Room saving subs?

I've got the Kicker HS8 in my car. It's freaking tiny. It is comparable to the stock subwoofers they put in most cars nowadays. It gives just enough bass to bring the music to life. On the songs with a heavy bass line, you can feel it in the seats, but you won't hear it outside the car.

Price is a little on the steeper side, but quality is amazing. You can check out my review on it in this thread: here.
